Jake Peavy, the hard throwing 32-year old right hander, saw his tenure on the south side come to an end today when he was traded to the Red Sox in a three-way deal that would send Jose Iglesias to the Tigers and Avisail Garcia and three low level prospects to the White Sox.<\/p>\n

The White Sox first traded for Jake Peavy on May 21, 2009, but Peavy invoked his no-trade clause to block the deal. \u00a0The next day, in a game against his soon-to-be cross town rival Cubs, Peavy injured his ankle running the bases and headed to the disabled list. \u00a0When the White Sox came around again at the trade deadline despite the lingering ankle injury, Peavy agreed to the deal and left the Padres to join the White Sox in exchange for\u00a0Clayton Richard, Aaron Poreda, Adam Russell and Dexter Carter. \u00a0Peavy eventually managed to make 3 starts for the White Sox, winning all 3 and giving fans hope for the 2010 season.<\/p>\n

After getting off to a rough start in 2010, Peavy got on a roll and strung together five consecutive victories until July 6, when he suffered a\u00a0detached latissimus dorsi muscle, a rare injury that ended his season. \u00a0Peavy worked his way back to the White Sox rotation in 2011, but he needed time to adjust to his reattached muscle and rebuild his strength.<\/p>\n

In 2012, Peavy led the surprising White Sox to a summer in first place and was named to the All Star team. \u00a0Unfortunately, the team faded down the stretch and finished behind the Tigers for the AL Central crown. \u00a0After the season, he avoided free agency by reupping with the White Sox,\u00a0signing a two year, $29 million dollar extension with a vesting option for 2015. \u00a0Unfortunately, the late season collapse that doomed the White Sox in September of 2012 continued into 2013, as the team fell into the cellar and saw an opportunity to improve themselves by moving Peavy. \u00a0Only time will tell if the move will work out.<\/p>\n

Peavy\u2019s\u00a0numbers in a White Sox uniform, both for games I attended and overall, were:<\/p>\n
